Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir...

Si ça ne ressemble pas à une artère au moment de se boucher...c'est un circuit de refroidissement moteur qui avait bien besoin d'un peu de maintenance...probablement la première en 15 ans...

Summer 2010-2011 - Seasonal Outlook
Introduction

Since several years, the Mauritius Meteorological Services issues at the beginning of the summer season a report, giving an indication of the expected evolution of the South West Indian Ocean (SWIO) summer, namely, the likely cyclonic activity during the coming cyclone season, summer rains and the temperatures in Mauritius and Rodrigues. The normal cyclone season starts officially around 01 November and terminates around 15 May of the following year, though it is not unlikely that at times cyclones do form outside these dates.


The contents of this outlook are meant to be used as general guidance for planning purposes by stakeholders in various sectors.


General Background

Correlations between some parameters such as sea surface temperature, El Nino Southern Oscillation, cross-equatorial flow, and cyclone activity in the SWIO and summer rainfall over the Republic of Mauritius have been fairly well established. Analysis, through persistence and linear combination of empirical results, have been utilized in order to generate as objectively as possible, the most likely scenario for the 2010-2011 South West Indian Ocean Summer.


Conclusions


Considering the prevailing moderate to strong La Nina conditions in the Central Equatorial Pacific, negative sea surface temperature anomalies in the equatorial Indian Ocean and other indications from global output models, hereunder is an updated probability of climatological events for the remaining summer 2010-2011:


i) The number of named storms for the 2010-2011 summer season will be around 6 to 8 in the South-West Indian Ocean basin.
All named storms that will develop in the South Indian Ocean will NOT necessarily approach the islands of the Republic of Mauritius or be a direct threat.


ii) Cumulative rainfall for summer season 2010-2011 is expected to remain below normal. It is noted that normal summer rainfall ( average over 30 years from November to April of following year) is 1345 mm over Mauritius and 725 mm over Rodrigues.


iii) It is likely that after mid-January 2011 atmospheric conditions will become conducive to the occurrence of extreme weather events such as heavy rains and strong winds that may adversely affect weather locally. Furthermore, during extreme conditions the occurrence of flash floods can not be discarded.


iv) Temperature will be generally above the long-term mean. However, on a few days it is expected that temperatures will exceed the normal by about two degrees Celsius. Maximum temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius are not to be excluded on coastal areas on a few occasions.


Above normal maximum temperatures with high humidity and calm wind conditions over extended periods of time, especially in the months of January up to the beginning of April, can cause severe discomfort to the vulnerable groups of the population. It is therefore not excluded that above normal temperatures giving rise to torrid conditions will be experienced.


If drastic changes are foreseen upon availability of fresh information, this report may be updated again.
